Summary: Editor’s Note: It’s time for yet another installment from our nationally syndicated (in his dreams) advice columnist, that Doctor of Communications himself, well known to his legion of mythical fans as simply Doctor C.

With that in mind, I’ve always addressed my parents’ friends as Mr. Smith or Mr. Jones and not by their first names.
